There was plenty of production from Butler in 2019, as he threw for 2,853 yards and 31 touchdowns. This lefty can get the ball out of his hand fast. To me, he’s a true pro-style quarterback who can make you pay off play-action passes. He does a great job putting the ball in the holes of zone coverage and leading his wideouts away from safety help. He currently holds two FCS offers.
Ian Borgersen Ian Borgersen 6'3" | QB Westwood | 2021 State NJ , Westwood
This young man shows great footwork in the pocket and does a nice job working through his progression. He is a nifty runner with the football in his hands and features a nasty spin move. Ian does a great job of moving safeties with his eyes and then putting the ball right on the money for his target.
Jake Robbins, Don Bosco
Robbins is another pro-style type quarterback who can gash people off play-action. He does a good of stepping up into the pocket and stepping into his throws when throwing the deep ball. He’s a natural at throwing on the move, and consistently will square his shoulders to his target before releasing the football. He currently holds two FCS offers.
Teddy Gouldin Teddy Gouldin 6'2" | QB Bernards | 2021 State NJ , Bernards
Gouldin has good speed and can get to the secondary fast on designed QB runs. He shows solid accuracy throwing across the middle and is a true timing thrower. He does a good job transitioning his weight on deep throws, to ensure it hits his wideout in stride.
Ah-Shaun Davis Ah-Shaun Davis 6'2" | QB Willingboro | 2021 State NJ , Willingboro
Davis has good size at 6’3, 205, and knows how to use it to his advantage. He did a great job stepping up in the pocket when under duress and keeping his eyes downfield looking for a target. This kid loves the go ball and will put it right over his target’s shoulder. He’s shown impressive touch and understands when and when not to throw a back-shoulder ball.

Tahj Bullock Tahj Bullock 6'4" | QB St. Peter's Prep | 2021 State NJ , St. Peters
On-film, Bullock shows a rocket arm and easily was able to throw his targets open. One thing that stuck out to me was how consistent he was with his base. Bullock’s legs never got too wide making it much harder to transition his body weight on deep throws. He can add value in the quarterback run game and got St. Peters a ton of yards in 2019 off the zone read.
Committed to Virginia Tech
Cole Freeman, Delbarton
One of the more unheralded QB’s on this list, but don’t sleep on this kid one bit. Cole has great ball placement on all three levels and does a good job not getting rattled when faced with pressure. He can change his arm slot when in sticky situations on the move. He also showed some pretty good improvisational skills and was able to keep plays alive when they looked like they were dead.
Charles DePrima Charles DePrima 6'2" | QB Ramapo | 2021 State NJ , Ramapo
How about this stat line, in 2019 DePrima threw for 2065 yards through the air and ran for another 1200 on the ground. The tape backs up the stats as DePrima showed he’s a true dual-threat quarterback prospect in every sense. He can shake safeties in the open field and can flat out outrun cornerbacks. As a thrower, he doesn’t get happy feet and is willing to work through his reads when looking for a target.

Chad Martini, Watchung Hills
The first thing that jumps out to me about Chad is his vertical stature, as he stands 6’6. On-film he shows solid anticipation and timing. Despite his size, he’s not a statue in the pocket and can improvise when things breakdown. He shows fantastic accuracy on the go ball and can throw it over safeties if need be.

Jake Kazanowsky Jake Kazanowsky 6'2" | QB Toms River North | 2021 State NJ , Toms River North
This kid is a gunslinger and always seems to make something happen when the pocket collapses. His best work is done on the move and he can make defenses pay if they aren’t playing fundamentally sound. He is tough to bring down in the pocket and can throw the intermediate to deep balls with some velocity on them.
Logan Peters Logan Peters 6'1" | QB Wall | 2021 State NJ , Wall
Peters is extremely athletic on the football field and a hard-running guy between the tackles. He was great in 2019 running the power read & zone-read for Wall and made defenses pay. He has enough speed to where if he gets into the open field, nobody is gonna catch him. He’s also a natural at throwing the four-verticals concept in the drop-back passing game. It’s possible he may even have a future on the other side of the ball as an outside linebacker or safety.
Dorian Nowell Dorian Nowell 6'2" | QB St. Joe's Montvale | 2021 State NJ , St. Joes Montvale
On-film, Dorian showed great arm strength and that he’s not afraid to unload the deep ball. He’s got great awareness and understands when it’s time to get out of the pocket. He’s elusive when flushed and can put the ball on the money in tough situations. I really like his upside and think Georgetown got a steal.
